Safari b64
A little birdy was kind enough to drop Safari beta64 on my doorstop last night, and I just got some time to play with it today... Admittedly I haven't spent too much time with it, but what I've seen so far is lovely, I can probably use it for 95% of all my browsing. Some things that are causing problems:
- Tab issues
Tabs are great in Safari, they're very speedy and performance is high while they're loading in the background, unlike say Chimera which will sputter. But I can't get Safari to load new pages into tabs, from say NetNewsWire, or to open a toolbar bookmark in a tab. You can however open up a whole set of toolbar bookmarks into tabs - Autofill issues
I tried to use this, and it's a no go so far. I have about 6 different sites where I am constantly having to type in the password due to having to login/logout multiple times per day. Chimera still rocks for that.
Of course this is a beta, but I hope they get ironed out soon as the other improvements (seems to be faster with SSL sites, tabs, etc.) are great. I'll admit the tabs look a little funky though, sort of busy. I keep finding myself wondering what Safari could have been with an aqua interface.
